Ukraine is not considering introducing peacekeeping missions to the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, Andriy Yermak, said at a briefing, an LB.ua correspondent said.
"As of today, this issue [possible introduction of a peacekeeping mission to the Zaporizhzhya NPP] is not being discussed. As of today, our position is very clear. First of all, we are striving to de-occupy all our territories. Secondly, the control over strategic nuclear facilities, such as the Zaporizhzhya plant, should be completely and solely vested in Ukraine. This is our territory and our land," he said.
Yermak noted the inadmissibility of nuclear blackmail by the aggressor, to which the entire civilized world should react.
"The whole world should know. If something happens, as it happened at the Chornobyl plant a few months ago, it will be entirely on the conscience of the aggressor. And the conscience of those who do not take reciprocal steps to protect not only Ukraine but the whole Europe and the world from a nuclear catastrophe," he pointed out.
The UN said that it was not discussing the idea of introducing peacekeepers to the territory of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba sent a letter to IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi and UN Secretary-General António Guterres calling for sending an international mission led by the IAEA and involving UN military experts to assess nuclear safety and security threats to the Zaporizhzhya plant.
